The ATC’s Commercial Collaborations open up real and tangible business opportunities for member companies. We partner with the Department for Business and Trade’s UK Export Academy, UKEA, providing the ATC with unparalleled visibility within the UK business community, and positioning its member companies as the go-to expert partners for exporting and internationalisation.

We have now expanded our collaboration with the UKEA further, providing a platform for ATC member companies to participate in export webinars as expert service providers. This is how you can get involved.

ATC collaboration with UKEA

The ATC hosts quarterly webinars promoting the value of language services, translation and interpreting through the UK Export Academy to its UK-wide audience of SME businesses looking to start exporting or increase their international footprint.

We are now expanding our collaboration with the UKEA further, and providing a platform for ATC member companies to participate in export webinars as experts. Together with the UKEA, we have piloted collaboration on export webinars focusing on specific geographical regions, inviting ATC member companies to provide cultural and export market insights in the regions and languages they specialise in. This collaboration will further expand to specific target sectors during the course of 2024.

What is the UK Export Academy?

The UK Export Academy is a free training platform for UK businesses looking to grow their international sales. Its export workshops are delivered through a hybrid of online and face-to-face learning, supported by the Department for Business and Trade.

The UK Export Academy reaches over 6,000 companies looking to expand their international footprint. Beyond the UKEA Essentials series and its topical exporting masterclasses, UKEA also heavily invests in opening up international regional and country markets, which provides the ATC’s member companies a huge opportunity to network and position themselves as market experts.
